[Stacerita]

Hope you aren't going to try to fit that on a name-tag or even worse a T-shirt! Oh wait, Stacie's on your team? nevermind. . .










Love ya Stacie!

Thanks! I needed that confindence boost.

 

[tinkermell]

OK, I think we've landed on a name (took us a while, but I think it's worth the wait). Soooooo......

Cristabel, Stacie, Erin & I are:

We are disinclined to acquiesce to your request for a team name​

Kinda long, but still fun.

Really and truly?

Too funny!

Gee.............I'm glad I'm not making your name tags this year!

Callie..........LOL!!!


Stacie, You got it, you flaunt it!!!
(Just sayin.)

 

[tinkermell]

Yo ho me hearties!

A little hint coming yer way for the hunt.

Things may be a wee bit different.

Be ye prepared to use yer head.

Hi everyone, I have a request on behalf of the candy buffet. I've received 17 responses thus far and the majority of people are bring some sort of chocolate. Some of you have asked what you can bring so in response here are some things I think would be fun to have at in the candy buffet and sort of what I need to pull together the whole theme I was hoping to have for the candy buffet:

• pixie sticks
• gumdrops
• button candies (usually pink, blue, & green on a sheet of paper)
• salt water taffy
• swirl lollipops
• gummy bears

and any other fun candies you can think of!

Thank you!

I sent you a PM!

Beth, Can you please remove Club 33 from the schedule?

My contact is not sure he's going to continue his membership, and so is not able to get us a table at this time. I'm sad that I won't be able to take a new group of Divas.

I wanted to publicly thank all those PMing me their understanding and support about Club 33. I'm so grateful to have such understanding friends who know how disappointed I was not to help you all out.

One person summed it up best when she said 'at least your bad news is just about lunch and not something more serious.'

Thanks for understanding everyone!

You are so sweet!

Hello everyone!!! I'm finally able to post, apparently, so I wanted to touch bases with you.
I am going to have to bow out of a large majority of the trip this year. Girl Scouts are having their big encampment that weekend, and as a leader I can't miss this particular event. I will come for the meet and greet, and hopefully Sunday afternoon/evening, Monday, etc. But, I won't be there any of Friday or Saturday.

Going to miss you!!

OK, I think we've landed on a name (took us a while, but I think it's worth the wait). Soooooo......

That is great! So very creative!!

Okay, I would like to add my plea. Some people, as in , well, ME cannot eat chocolate. So, some non-chocolate treats would be much appreciated by me. Oh, and I love me some craisins!!! And as we all know, I firmly believe it IS all about me.

I'm not bringing chocolate (even though I love the stuff!). Didn't sign up for craisins though.

I'm bored.....

Ruben and Adam aren't home, the girls are all busy doing their own thing, dishes and clothes are washed.......... I've got nothing to do.
Well, there are things to do like the garage could use cleaning, my closet could use organizing, but let's face it, that's not gonna happen.

So here I sit....

I'm home with just one kid and praying he goes to sleep by 8 so I can watch AI in peace!


Today was quite a day! Jack had a dentist appt for his 6 month cleaning. He HATES brushing his teeth so as you can imagine he isn't too fond of the dentist either. I take him to an awesome pediatric dentist who specializes in children w/ special needs. She's good and VERY fast! Unfortunately we have the choice of either restraining him or putting him under meds. I've chosen to restrain him (with me in the room at all times). But it is a workout for sure. There were 3 of us holding him down while the dentist did her cleaning. It is times like that that I really wish he had better understanding - or that I could at least reason with him!

And then he had a major meltdown at my mom's house this afternoon and I had to carry him kicking and screaming out of the house.

This was clearly an I HATE autism day!

Ummm....what did we do last year...are you implying that we didn't use our heads then? We don't have to use them as a battering ram do we? Ok, so who's bringing the Costco size bottle of Tylenol?

[sahbushka]

So my kids are in bed and quite, my dh is at school and the laundry, dusting, financing, in box, out box, leg shaving, etc etc is done. As soon as dh gets home we will watch Biggest Loser and then it will be bed time. I feel good about all I got done today and overall Kiera was in a pretty good mood (if you don't count the taco junk ending up all over the kitchen floor because she got mad that I wasn't paying enough attention to her.)

Amy - I sent that box in the mail today so be watching for it! I forgot to put a note in with it...sorry!

I just wanted to say that you all are some of the best friends a girl could hope for.

I love you girls!!!!

Have a wonderful day.

No worries.

Thanks Beth for keeping us organized. You are a Diva-extraordinaire!

Mel, I'm sorry, I didn't see your question earlier. I have an elective u/s scheduled for next Friday the 22nd. They say there is a very good chance that they can tell then. If they can't, then I can go back every week and recheck until they can tell. So, maybe as soon as the end of next week! That's going to be a great day for us, we are also going to see Mickey's Road Trip that night with the boys.

Have fun at the Mickey show!

Luckily, I guess, I had not been able to find a roommate yet, so I won't be letting anyone down there.
Big hugs to everyone who needs a hug.

Happy bday to Bree and I'm glad things are going well for Heather's ultra sound.

Sorry to hear you won't be able to attend the entire trip. Selena has her encampment in the spring too.

I hope that my fellow team 4 gals don't mind me posting our team name... Brianna, Daisy, my Sister Tammy and I are......

The Chesty Treasures

Nice!

Afternoon girls!

Jill thanks for the thoughts. Lynn was supposed to call and her/her mom was supposed to "talk" to shane about what was transpiring but of course THAT didn't happen and she is supposed to be returning the phone he bought her because we have a 2 year contract on it and she was supposed to be paying part of our bill (we have a family plan). I told him just to cancel the phone but he says he is going to wait and see if she brings it back. YEAH right I will hold my breath on THAT one. His ex has never followed through on ANYTHING she has said she was going to do in 11 years so I am NOT going to believe THAT one. So we shall see but I have a feeling we will end up shutting it off. I just hope she doesn't run the bill into oblivion in the meantime! That is the LAST thing we need right now when he is off work. Don't get me started on WHY he decided to buy all new phones right now either. He did this during that week we were having problems. Lynn was staying with him and let's just say she worked him WELL that week. She convinced him to get her the phone, put her on HIS plan and was going to move in with him too. SOOO glad THAT didn't happen cuz there is NO way I would have allowed the girls to be living in THAT situation. But luckily that didn't happen. We just need to get the phone back or shut off and that will be the last thing I need to worry about. That and once she turns 18 and we are no longer liable for anything she does! I can no longer stress about it any longer. It is out of our hands and I just have to let it go!

Courtney I so know what you mean about the tests. I don't mind blood tests, in fact with some of my meds I had to have my blood drawn weekly. That doesn't bother me a bit. But for my stomach they said I might need an upper GI and THAT is what I didn't want. I have already had a lower one as well as a barium enema and a colonoscopy and THOSE tests are the nasty ones. Requiring fasting and other nasty preps. THAT is what I am putting off cuz I usually end up with migraines and sick from those things. But if it keeps bugging me I will have to break down and do it eventually. For now it hasn't been bothering me as much so I have been putting it off but I hope you have good luck getting a resolution!

It was a yucky day here today with rain and all but we got a few things done. We took the dog to the vet and got his shots but I ended up with a nasty headache and Shane wasn't able to get a doc apt so we just came home. Now we are just vegging and HOPEFULLY he will be back to work tomorrow!! I was supposed to work on the taxes but just couldn't do it today cuz of my head. I will take another stab at it tomorrow!

I just love all the talk of the planning and mom and I talked again yesterday about everything we need to do but so far it is all talk. We need to start DOING some stuff though. I told her I feel stressed cuz there is SO much that we need to do still! I am afraid I am going to forget some stuff. So hopefully SOON we will get motivated and get some stuff done!!!

Don't know about you all but I am SOOO ready! Can't wait to see everyone and just BE there! It is going to be so fun and just to sit and have some meals and see everyone sounds GREAT!

Hope everyone has a great rest of your day and talk later.

P.S. Wendy love ya too!

I'm sorry Becci. I know what you mean, that's why my friends on FB asking for understanding and not a cure did not really get my support we need both. We need our kids to be better understood by others, but we also need them to better understand us. Some days are just tough. You are a great Mom, and Jack is so lucky to have a champion like you behind him.

 

[21yankees]

Well tomorrow is hump day. I am looking forward to a long weekend. Raine has been ill the past 3 days. Nothing serious but for the most part she doesn't get sick. Took her to the dr. today and he said it seems viral but if she's not getting better in about 2 days to bring her back. She has a rough cough and the occasional fever (which is taking her energy). She hates being ill, we haven't let her go to school this week, I don't want her spreading whatever this is and I don't want her being exposed to anything that may make this worse.

Tomorrow is Raine's 6th birthday and she really wants to go to school to celebrate with her class. She doesn't have a sweet tooth and asked me to make her class a fruit and vegetable tray.

I hope you all are having a great week and that it continues for the remainder of the week. And for those that haven't had a great start to the week, I hope the rest of the week gets better.

Thanks Heather! (And Mel also! ) Some days are certainly better than others.

But thankfully he is asleep now and I'm enjoying AI!

I had to read this twice. I can't imagine any of my kids ever asking for a fruit and veggie tray over a cake. Amazing!

I hope that tomorrow is a better day for you and Jack.

Thanks Steph! And I hope Raine's is feeling better for her birthday!

Trust me I have a huge sweet tooth (way too big). I hope this stays with her as she gets older. Our other 2 kids would choose cake or cookies over a veggie tray.

Have a wonderful day.

Okay, I know that this isn't a competition or anything....but some of us are better friends than others ..huh huh huh? OKay...just being silly.

Hope you aren't going to try to fit that on a name-tag or even worse a T-shirt! Oh wait, Stacie's on your team? nevermind. . .










Love ya Stacie!

Yes, thank goodness my team's name is shorter....my "billboard" isn't as...er...impressive. Uh oh...we aren't emblazoning Booty Babes on our a**es are we?

This is just too good! I love it! So creative!



Ummm....what did we do last year...are you implying that we didn't use our heads then? We don't have to use them as a battering ram do we? Ok, so who's bringing the Costco size bottle of Tylenol?

Sarah

I am more a ibuprofen kind of gal, but on the list!! I have done two puzzle scavy hunts now, one MA the other shindeki...and I fear I am just totally stupid. Sad with all of my education...too limited....don't know anything outside my field.


Happy Tuesday.

AmySue

 

[DangerMouse]

Thanks! I needed that confindence boost.

You're the best! You're the best! You're much better than the rest!!!

How's that? Ok, so I was a really crappy cheerleader in jr. high. . .

 

[DangerMouse]

Becci, big hugs to you and prayers that tomorrow brings a better day for you and Jack.

Steph, I hope Raine is feeling a lot better for her birthday celebration at school tomorrow. Gotta wonder what the other kids will think of that veggie tray, huh?

AmySue, you made me spit water on my screen. Thanks!

That is just not true. You know a lot and were very good at the scavy hunt.
(Oh, I see, this is reverse psychology... she's psyching out the other teams already! - clever....)

And now that I know about your fear of chocolate, you're coming with me to every Godiva's and See's in SoCal.

(and I'll take your samples)


Oh, I want to alert everyone who is thinking of doing the day of service for a DL ticket, the positions are flying. And since they are only doing this until tickets are left (meaning Disney is not promising this will last until Dec), think about checking the site to get your choice.

Thanks Donna, you are too kind. I have a lot of fun doing the scavy hunts, and am usually having such a blast I don't really notice, and really do not care that I suck the big one!!!!!!!! I mean, how fun is it to be doing Disney a totally different way. But seriously, Morse code?

Oh, and Donna, my DD would fight your for my samples. I LOVE See's lollypops the vanilla ones and butterscotch, so when at the mall she and I will often go in to get a sucker. They always give us each a sample with just the peurchase of two lollypops.....quite the delightful snack for the kiddo.

I have looked at the site for volunteer opportunities...and will have to look again. I was thinking about the water aid for adult swim lessons, but that required a 6 month commitment. Not sure about that!!

 

[kelmac284]

Good morning and happy wednesday/hump day all!

Becci ((hugs)) I can't even imagine what you must have to go through. I know some days just dealing with my two is a challenge but what you have to deal with I couldn't even fathom. You are a saint that's for sure! Hope today is a better day for you!!

Steph I hope Raine is feeling better today and can go to school for her b-day. I know my girls ALWAYS want to bring stuff in but poor Katy's birthday ALWAYS falls over the christmas break and it is WAY in the middle of it so it makes it hard but Shelby's usually ends up being during school so I usually let her do it. Our stupid school is really weird about letting you bring in stuff though. It can ONLY be store bought, no homemade stuff, and then a lot of teachers only want healthy stuff like fruit and veggies etc. I mean I understand why they don't want the kids hopped up on sugar constantly but they are KIDS. They don't let them have hardly any parties any more or anything. But don't get me started on that one LOL. I hope she has a VERY happy birthday today!!!

I enjoyed watching AI last night although I will admit I still don't know what to think about Ellen. I think she is funny and all but don't see HOW she is qualified to judge a singing comp since she has NO background in music?? Plus when Simon leaves I don't see how the show will last. I don't know if I will still watch or not. But I AM looking forward to this season and enjoyed the contestants last night. I fell asleep towards the end though and missed a few . I am looking forward to watching again tonight and I really enjoyed seeing Heroes and Fringe again. Tomorrow CSI comes back on and Fringe is on it's regular night so I am excited about that and I can't WAIT for the new survivor. It looks REALLY good too! LOTS of good stuff coming up. Plus I can't WAIT for lost!! Pretty sad to say when I get this excited over tv! AH I am so boring LOL.

Anywho I plan to workout here in a bit after I take the girls to school and hopefully my headache won't come back and then I hopefully will be able to work on the taxes some more and then mom wants me to meet her to go to the phone store. She is planning on replacing her cell phone as well. I found out that our church is not having Awana the rest of the month and HOPEFULLY it will be back next month! I feel REALLY bad for the girls because it is SO not fair to them what is going on with the church! They REALLY look forward to wednesday church and seeing their friends and earning their badges etc. I really don't know WHAT is going to happen when the church has to move in April. I don't know if we are going to follow them or not. I guess it just depends on where they end up. We love the pastor and the youth leaders but if they lose half their programs we may go to our old daycare lady's church because I really want the girls to be exposed to things like sunday school, awana and vacation bible school. So I guess time will tell.

Anyway that's bout it for me. I hope everyone has a GREAT day today and talk later!
